Details: Product Description It's the total swerval return of the First Family of Punk! Dirk Hopeless and Nikki Strange went from the parties, touring, and recording studios of rock stardom to the quiet of the suburbs, but that's no reason they can't still be themselves. Join Dirk and Nikki, along with their kids Rat, Arsenal, Twitch, and Zero as they bounce their way through kidnapping plots, first love, and international intrigue in this massive collection of the Eisner Award-nominated series! From Booklist *Starred Review* After their career as punk rockers, Dirk Hopeless and his wife, Nikki Savage, attempted something truly edgy�raising kids in the suburbs. As their youngest daughter, Zero, navigates the dangerous waters of high school, readers are taken into the home of a family that is all too ordinary, despite reality-TV crews, kidnappings, and international espionage. Together with her older brothers Rat and Twitch and big sister Arsenal, Zero discovers that family�like a band�is strongest when it sticks together. Van Meter�s rocking graphic-novel trilogy is collected here into one omnibus edition. Humor, drama, and over-the-top action are combined in just the right amounts, with the action used to highlight the thoughtful subplots, which explore themes of relationship building, parental expectations, and rebellion against societal norms. Illustrated by a host of hip and talented artists�including Bryan Lee O�Malley, Ross Campbell, Andi Watson, and Chynna Clugston Flores�and with only comic violence, mild swearing, and no sex, Hopeless Savages is a terrific choice for both adult and teen graphic-novel collections.
